I was fortunate enough to see the Buckeye Bullet at Bonneville this year. My hat is off to the crew of the vehicle. They were very friendly and knowlegeable and did not mind me asking tons of questions. Good luck on your quest. The technology is fascinating and it will provide a real world learning environment for the students!

I really enjoyed spending my time with the crew of the Buckeye Bullet 2 - I appreciate that you took the time to demonstrate your vehicle and answer my questions. As promised I passed on your information and the signed postcard to Mike Johnson (VP EnergySolutions) who by the way is alumni and holds season tickets to the bucks. Thanks again and hopefully I will see you again at the flats.

Buckeye Bullet

The student run team is based out of the Center for Automotive Research at The Ohio State University. Currently the team is in the process of designing a brand new land speed vehicle. This new vehicle branded the Buckeye Bullet 3 is anticipated to be significantly faster than previous cars. In the summer of 2010, the team built a battery powered land speed streamliner (BB2.5), that broke the previous world record held by the Buckeye Bullet 1. Each of the vehicles are run on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.
